LADWP was contacted about the reason for the outage. Dawn Cotterell, LADWP Community Affairs, responded in an email to circlingthenews on July 31.

“The outage was caused by a tree getting into the conductors,” Cotterell wrote. “The outage stated at 5:59 p.m. and lasted 4 hours and 31 minutes. The crew had to cut the tree out of the conductors and then re-install it.”
